Abstract:
The experiment was carried out at the Crop Research Centre (CRC), Department of Agronomy, School of Agriculture, ITM University, Gwalior, (M.P.), India, during the Rabi season of 2022–2023 to investigate the effect of integrated nutrient management on the growth, yield, and quality of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.). In previous research, the combined effects of organic, inorganic, and biofertilizers were all carefully examined, and it was strongly recommended by all of them that for better quality and good grain and oil production in mustard, integrated nutrient management is noticeably superior to conventional farmer practises. Additionally, it leads to a high yield and a notable change in growth characteristics, which raises the mustard farmers' revenue. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Treatments viz., T1 Control, T2 100% RDF, T3 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 1 t ha-1 + Azotobacter, T4 100% RDF + Vermicompost @ 1 t ha -1 + PSB, T5 75% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2 t ha -1 + Azotobacter, T6 75% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2 t ha-1 + PSB, T7 75% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2 t ha -1 + FYM @ 3 t ha -1 + Azotobacter, T8 75% RDF + FYM @ 6tha -1 + PSB, T9 75% RDF + FYM @ 6 t ha -1 + VAM, T10 VAM + Azotobacter + 75% RDF. Thus, a total of ten treatment combinations were replicated thrice.

Thus, a total of ten treatment combinations were replicated thrice.
The study examined the effects of integrated nutrient management (INM) on plant growth parameters. Plant population was consistent across treatments (6-7 plants/meter). INM significantly influenced plant height, with peak growth between 30-60 DAS, slowing after 90 DAS. Number of branches and leaves were significantly affected by INM at 60 and 90 DAS, with treatment T7 showing highest values. Dry matter accumulation increased significantly, more so at 60 DAS. Treatment T7 had the highest accumulation. INM affected days to flowering, but treatments were not significant. T7 took longest (52 DAS), control shortest (46 DAS). Overall, INM impacted growth, especially height, branches, leaves, and dry matter accumulation. Integrated nutrient management (INM) significantly affects seed yield, stover yield, and biological yield, while not significantly impacting harvest index. Among treatments, T7 (75% RDF + Vermicompost @ 2 t ha-1 + FYM @ 3 t ha-1 + Azotobacter) demonstrated the highest seed yield, stover yield, and biological yield. This treatment was comparable with T3, T4, and T5. The harvest index was highest in T4 (31.49%) and lowest in the control group.
